How do you align the recoil lug when you are putting on a new barrel. I was thinking of leveling the action and just trying it untill the bottom of the lug is level. But im sure there has got to be a better way. Im not sure what lug I am going to use yet.

Wouldn't the trial and error with leveling the action and the bottom of the lug work. When I buy my lug I will probably get a alignment tool for that specific lug.
How do you pin a lug? Is it in to the face of the action with a short pin.

You would have to make a slot on the acton or hole in the exact position that the hole in the recoil will be. I made up my own tool buy drilling a piece of aluminum that had the ID specs of a action then drilled a hole and tapped it 1/4-28 the same as the mounting screws on the reciever. Then i milled the face of it down the thickness of the lug untill it got to be the same distance appart as the lug itself. It locates the lug on a remmy great.
